Ipod touch 5th gen, wont work?

when i took the charger out of my ipod touch 5th gen , the screen went dark and wouldn't respond then it went black and wouldnt turn on. i thought maybe it was dead so i charged it for an hour but nothing came up on the screen it just stayed black. i tried restetting it but nothing comes up
when connected to the computer it doesnt recgonise the device and says 'power surge on hub' ? so i cant fix it that way its only 4 months old and i dont know what is worng with it. it was working fine yesterday until i took the charger out.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable. The 'power surge on hub' error is common for a bad cable

- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Ipod nano 5th gen stopped working and now is in different language, wants a passcode

I was listening to a movie when it suddenly stopped. When I looked at the ipod it was in a different language and looking for a passcode. When I plugged it into a computer I got a"usb device not recognized" error message. I've hooked it up to 2 different computers using 2 different usb cables and I still get the same results.

Search for a solution over on Knowledge Base, call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) and/or take a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.
Another option is to check out the DIY iPod Repair website.

My iPod touch 5th gen went black and is not being recognized by my computer?

My iPod touch 5th gen was working perfectly fine about an hour ago i was taking pictures talking to my friends. I had it in my pocket for about 30 mins without using it and when I went to grab and check on it went completely back and I thought it was dead but I remembered it was charged more than half way. When I got home I plugged it in my computer and it doesn't appear on my computer what do I do?

Dang, if you had a Windows, I'd definitely be able to help you. Maybe try restarting your computer, & re-installing the Apple Mobile Device Support & iTunes under your "programs" on your computer settings. Idk if this helps because I have Windows not Mac :/ Best of luck.

My iPod Touch 5th gen won't turn on

My iPod touch 5th gen was working fine and was fully charged and then it just shut off and won't turn back on. There has been no damage to it from anything and there was no reason it should've shut off. I tried holding down the lock button for a minute and I also tried plugging it in..still nothing. I can't hold down the home button and lock button at the same time because the home button has been stuck down for about a month. What else can I try to make it work?

Turn on without Home/Power Button

I have numerous different apple products with the new lightening connector, all of which have broken or stopped working after just short periods of time, I have an iPhone 5C, and iPad mini and and iPod Touch 5th gen?

Hi, I have numerous different Apple products, an iphone 5c, iPad mini and iPod touch 5th gen.
I have had them all for only relatively short periods of time yet the lightning cable has stopped working on all of them?
On the touch, charging has stopped completely?
Is this a manufacturing issue with the new charging system?

Hi, yes I'm using the original apple cables.
This definitely isn't user error nor confined just to me, the devices are used by different people in the home.
On a quick sample around the office (survey of 7 people let me add) 4 of them said the cables had broken on them and had to be replaced.
Having also searched through the forums it appears this is a fairly widespread issue.
It's defo not user error!

Ipod touch 5th gen will not turn on- home button stopped working months ago

Hi,
So I have a ipod touch 5th gen and it suddenly turned off and will not turn on.
Okay, I just want to say first I know the answer would be to hold the top button and the home button at the same time until it turns on.
The thing is, my centre home button stopped workings months ago so I was using the assistive touch.
What happened:
I was using my ipod and the battery was almost full. When I tried to use it 10 minutes later it was turned off and I can't turn it on. I tried plugging it on my computer and it will not recognize it.I also tried holding only the power button on top for a while but nothing happened.
Any ideas?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

IPod Touch 5th gen headphone jack and battery not working properly

Yesterday my iPod touch 5th gen's battery started draning at an incredible rate. Won't last longer then 1 or 2 hours now. And add onto it the headphone jack stopped working properly. It's now only plays in one ear, it's all static over the sound it's supposed to play. I baby my iPod. This all happened out of the blue. What do I do to fix it?

Saraa22 , the same recommendation was given over a year earlier:
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If anyone has this same problem with their Ipod touch 5g headphone jack. I found a way to fix it. I did everything of the above but nothing actually worked . But this is what worked!
First reset your Ipod by pressing down the on/off button and the home button at the same time for 10 seconds until you see the apple icon
Then after it turns back on : Go to settings then press on general. Then press on accessibility and scroll down and make sure MONO AUDIO is on!
This will definitely fix the problem.

IPod Touch 5th gen no longer working with Mini stereo...

I have an 'entertainment pack' in my Mini that allows me to connect my iPod Touch 5th gen to the car stereo (via USB & aux in cables) to both listen to it and scroll through my music through the stereo interface. I have had a few problems before with it not connecting but these usually resolved themselves within a day or so and I think were more to do with my lightning to 30 pin adapter than my actual iPod. However, since I installed the latest ios7 update a couple of days ago I cannot get it to work at all and keep getting a message saying 'this accessory is not supported' when I plug the iPod into my car. Any suggestions on how I can resolve this?

Ipod touch 5th gen tilt function not working

Hi
I recently got a replacement (from apple) for my Ipod Touch 5th Gen 64gb due to the home button being broken. It is running the latest software which I believe is IOS 8.1.1
Note - other than the broken button I had absolutely no issues with my old Ipod.
When I received the Ipod only 3 days ago I did the normal process of restoring from back up etc but have noticed that the tilt function is not working.
I have tried all the obvious solution - first being checking portrait orientation isn't locked, then resetting the Ipod via holding down lock and home button and finally I have done a factory reset and still have had no luck with this issue. Is there an easy fix to this or am I going to have to go back to the Apple store?
Thanks

If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Since installing iOS 7 my iPod Touch 5th gen is occasionally failing set some emails as "read". It only happens on two of the six accounts I monitor on my iPod. This previously worked fine across all my devices (blackberry Bold, PC running Windows 8/outlo

Is there an email account setting somewhere on my iPod touch 5th gen where I can reset the number of unopened emails in the inbox to zero? This worked fine until I installed iOS7, and still does on the other devices (Blackberry, windows 8 PC/Outlook 2010) And it only does this on the occasional email and not in all accounts. I won't repeatedly delete/reinstall the accounts as suggested elsewhere. Thanks.

I recently updated my iPod touch 5th Gen to iOS 8.2. I use it to play music in my 2013 GMC via USB connection. Now, when my vehicle's system "detects" my device, it starts playing the song and after about two seconds it just quits. Help, please.
